2. The Groups Groups of 3 or 4 make up each station group.
Each station group is responsible for a chapter
(11, 12, or 13)
Your responsibility is to learn the material and create a learning station to present the info to the other groups.

3. The Learning Stations
The station should have a display that easily teaches the material to onlookers.
It can include posters, diagrams, models, hanging stuff from the wall or ceiling, interactive stuff, hands on stuff, moving parts, sounds, lights, etc.
It can be funny, eye-catching, creative, thematic, whatever.

4. The Chapters Ch. 11: Between the Tides
Intertidal communities – tide pools, rocky shores, soft bottoms
Ch. 12: Estuaries: Where Rivers Meet the Sea
Estuarine communities – open water, mudflats, salt marshes, mangrove forests, oyster reefs
Ch. 13: Life on the Continental Shelf
Subtidal communities – soft bottoms, sea grass beds, rocky bottoms, sea weed & kelp forests

5. Class Time
You will be given some time (five days) to prepare, design, and build your learning stations.
Tips:
Learn the topic first.
Plan and design your station
Create it.
Don’t try to do it in reverse order.

6. The Practicum and Test
On Thursday we will have a Learning Practicum. You can walk around, look at, and take notes on the Learning Stations.
On Friday we will have the Ch. Test. You can use your notes from the Learning Practicum on the test.
A small Homework Packet will also be due on Friday.
